I'm building a rig with PCPartPicker, but I'm not entirely sure about it, and also read on Reddit that the site doesn't check for absolutely everything. If someone with a keener eye could check it out, and tell me where I went overkill, or which parts don't fit well with the others, or even where I could upgrade a little without taxing the rest of the system. You know, anything that you think is wrong with it. The budget is around 1000 $-1200 $. Oh, and the thing I'm most interested in is whether the cooling is good enough, especially during hot summers, when it's 90 F degrees inside(don't have an AC in my room)

EDIT: Thanks everyone for helping out, I eventually went with what you guys said and settled for this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YwrKnQ

Your build is very good but recommend getting the 970 if you are willing to spend the money, since it is a lot better.

Well, I would buy this one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4TrFCJ instead of that you have there. You should buy a SSD but this will happen when you will have more money.Also the sound card for me is a waste of money don't buy it.The mobo has an excellent sound card.

Was thinking about an SSD, but frankly it's way too much money right now. Besides prices for that have been dropping quite fast, so it might be best to wait a little bit. As for the sound card, yeah, I'll prob. drop that.

You changed the mobo and added an extra memory right? Although the one problem with the build you recommended is that the site doesn't show benchmarks for it. But that shouldn't be all too different from the original build.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I might just go with what your suggestion.

Don't buy a 3 generation old CPU on a dead socket. Get a 4xxx CPU for sure.

No point to any more than 8gb RAM either.

The temps outside make no difference. The temps inside do.

The CPU I think is fine for me, for now, as for memory, it doesn't cost much, and more is usually better, although the extra above 8 is probably the last I get, and only if I'm not satisfied. And I meant the temps inside, dunno why I wrote outside. Force of habit I guess.

More is not better for gaming. Ther is not even 1fs difference between 8 and 16gb.

There is ZERO reason to buy an old CPU. Just get a current one for the same price.

90f inside will be a problem for sure no matter what cooling you have. You WILL have high temps. The computer will still work, but it will definitely run hot in those ambient temps.

You can remove the 2x4 GB Rams and buy something else like a SSD

The i5 4690K is current gen, just not an i7. It launched this year. The SSD instead of the memory is not a bad idea though.

You were talking about using a 3570k. That is what I was referring to. Of course I know the 4xxx CPUs are current. I even stated that in my last post.

Right, sorry, I could've sworn I picked the 4690K, but it looks like it was Fabio.
